“We had chances. We had a lot of chances down the stretch. We moved the ball well, we just struggled in the red zone. Two field goals, four passes at the 1 and obviously the turnover,” Rodgers said according to Yardbarker.
The loss on Thursday night was the first for the Packers this year. The team had a chance to tie the game earlier in the fourth quarter, but they could not punch the ball into the endzone when they were at the Eagles 1-yard line.
“We got into goal line, we liked the matchup on the outside, Jimmy Graham on the safety and that was incomplete,” Packers head coach Matt LaFleur explained according to Sports Illustrated. “Second down we tried to stay in goal-line thinking they might think we’re running the ball. We ran the keeper and they played the keeper. Credit to them. The defensive end read the field and was right in Aaron [Rodgers]’s face. “Third down we called a play for the run/pass option and Aaron he saw who he saw and pulled the ball, then the defense reacted so he had to throw it away. Then fourth down we tried another pass. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out for us.”
As for the Eagles, they earned a nearly season-saving win after losing to the Atlanta Falcons and Detroit Lions in consecutive weeks. They are now 1.5 games out of the NFC East lead which currently belongs to the Dallas Cowboys.
